In this empowering keynote, I’ll share my journey as a woman, wheelchair user, and advocate, revealing the personal obstacles I’ve faced—ableism, bias, and exclusion—and how I transformed these challenges into stepping stones for growth.

“OWN It” isn’t just a mantra—it’s a mindset and strategy for personal empowerment. Through embracing the full complexity of my identity, I’ve learned to turn what society often sees as limitations into my greatest strengths. I’ll discuss the intersections of disability, gender, and other facets of identity, providing actionable strategies to break free from societal labels and leverage your own uniqueness to fuel your success.

This keynote highlights the importance of resilience, community, and self-advocacy, as well as the transformative power of reframing challenges into opportunities. By embracing your true identity, you can unleash your potential, push through adversity, and ultimately achieve your dreams.

The audience will leave with a renewed sense of purpose and an actionable step to begin owning their power today—empowered to dream without limitations and to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable world.
